Book Description
Excerpt from Sermons, Lectures, and Addresses The one intended. If any of the sermons I de livered when in the clerical profession were to be given the public, it seemed to me best that they should be printed now precisely as they were de livered then. I have, therefore, refrained from changing a word or reconstructing a sentence in them. I have not even allowed myself to read the proof sheets, lest I should be overtempted, by faults perceived, to re-edit them. The thought and word stand here precisely as conceived and.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures and Sermons As you probably know, St. John was the only one of the Apostles who died a natural death. All the others suffered martyrdom for their faith. It was given to the beloved disciple to live to great age, and when he was too old to walk his followers carried him about on a cot. His gospel, in those sunset years, was said to be very simple: Little children, love one an Into the word Love he pour ed all the riches of his faith and pi ety, his hope for the church and for the world. With what profound insight Browning has interpreted the closing hours of St. John in A Death in the Desert, as though he had been one who stood beside his couch. Pur sued by the foes of his faith, St. John takes refuge in a cave in the desert, where his mortal hour comes upon him. As the end approaches, in rapt prophetic vision he foresees, with his bright dying eyes, all the subtle at tacks on the faith of Jesus, and dis arms them. The teaching of David Strauss, at whose touch all things turned to allegory; the unctuous and persuasive doubt of Renan, in which one hears always an echo of irony; these, and the ruder forms of denial, are all predicted. Let men deny what dogma they will, let them tear the gospel record into tatters, they do not so much as touch the basis of faith as Browning states it in that poem.

Book Description
Excerpt from Selected Sermons and Addresses Great care was exercised in making these selections from a vast amount of material. Many of these articles have never been published in magazine or pamphlet form. The selections are quite typical of their author, and represent a wide range of thought. They reveal his power in Scripture, his trend of religious thought, his knowledge of and interest in human affairs, and bring a live message to preacher and layman alike. The family of Dr. Ort, together with the faculty of Hamma Divinity School, have heartily endorsed this publication, and have placed at our disposal the material from which the selections were made. Dr. Ort held a warm place in many hearts. He was loyally devoted to his Church and College, and gave freely of his time and strength to serve their interests.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sermons and Lectures Grant to each of us what he most needs, though he may not know what it is. Let none of us loiter in the low places of life, too fickle to be faithful, too feeble to be heroic. Give patience to those whose cross is hard to bear. Uphold those dragged down in mind by the weight of many cares, lest they fail of the one thing needful. If we cannot give thanks for all things, may we be thank ful in all things, and above all in this hour of prayer when to wait is to be wise, and to listen is to learn of Him who was gentle and lowly of heart; in whose name we pray, Amen.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Lectures, Sermons, Addresses and Letters of Rev. D. W. Cahill: With a Biographical Sketch In giving to the public, in book form, a biography of the Rev. D. W. Cahill, with nearly all the rich literary legacy he has left in the form of lecture, sermon, letter, and public address, we hope that we shall earn the gratitude of all who love what is transcendently valuable, grand, and racy in the English language. Here especially do we look for the reward of our labor, in point of esteem and patronage from his countrymen, by whom he was so deeply and deservedly beloved, and whose affection he returned with all the fervor of his ardent temperament and kindly nature. In his great devotion to that faith to which he was a model in practice as well as in exposition, every good priest will find a stimulant to his piety and zeal. In his ardent patriotism, so often displayed in action, as well as in his own burning, eloquent words, every Irishman and lover of literature will find something to be proud of, to admire, and to imitate; and in the charity and blameless record of his life every Christian can read a profitable lesson. As he was a giant in intellect and a hero in the moral beauty of his life, it would require a pen of surpassing power to draw his literary portrait. But as it is none of the purpose of a preface to assume the work of the essayist or reviewer, we will confine ourself to indicating a few of our reasons for undertaking this literary task, and a few of the most salient points of its purpose and utility. As a preacher and a lecturer, Dr. Cahill has ever been classed among the most eloquent and profound of his age, whilst in the abstract mathematics, he had few if any rivals.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Christ of the Church: Sermons, Lectures and Illustrations The man of Tarsus, breathing threatening and slaughter, was on his way to Damascus, When Jesus appeared unto him and said, Why do you persecute me Who are you was the reply. I am Jesus, Whom you persecute. Paul was startled. When had he persecuted Jesus? To his wonder and amazement, he realized that Jesus is living and is identified With the church, and that to persecute the church is to persecute the Christ of the church. From that time until his death he had but two themes, the church, and the Christ of the church. He ransacked his vocabulary of words to find figures to exalt, adorn and beautify the church. In his most matchless ights of oratory, his theme was the church. He saw the church as the household of God, the whole family in heaven and earth, the temple of God, the body of Christ, the pillar of truth, and last the loving bride of the Redeemer. It dawned upon him that to ignore the church is to ignore the Christ of the church, and to persecute the church is to persecute the Christ. Happy are we if we see these great truths as Paul saw them. I have no sympathy With the sentiment that applauds the name of Christ and hisses the church. To hiss the church is to hiss the Christ of the church. Neither do I have any patience with that other sentiment that is often manifested in some of our union revivals, that a man can be a Chris tian and not in the church. It is nothing un usual to hear men say, Oh, yes, I am a Chris tian, but not a member of the church. That is false; every Christian on earth is in the church. To be a Christian is to be in the body of Christ, the church. To ignore the church is to ignore the Christ of the church, to neglect the church is to neglect Christ, and to be out of the church is to be out of Christ. The church is a divine institution, perfect and above criticism. The church includes all who are followers of Christ, and excludes all who are not. The word church, in the New Testament, refers to all believers in Christ. Until Paul came exalting the church in figures, the divine writers referred to it merely as the church. It was not modified.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on Homiletics and Preaching But how much soever the ministerial office may be contemned by others; how low soever their concep tions of its authority or its source the minister himself must magnify his ofiice.' It 1s of the utmost import ance, that he entertain elevated notions both of its sanc tity and its dignity. The welfare of the people com witted to his charge, no less than the formation and maintenance of his own character requires him to be well persuaded of what dignity, and of how great import ance the office is, whereunto he has been called. Hence the stress which is laid upon it in the Ordination Service of our church. And now again, ' (observes the Bishop, whilst addressing those about to be admitted into the priestly otfice, ) we exhort you, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you have in remembrance into how high a dignity, and to how weighty an office and charge ye are called, that is to say, to be messengers, watch men, and stewards of the Lord, to teach and to pre monish, to feed and provide for the Lord's family: to seek for Christ's sheep that are dispersed abroad, and for his children who are in the midst of this naughty world, that they may be saved through Christ for ever.'
